Capturing the Face with 3D Scans

Thanks to John Caya at Mandli Communications for the heads up (pun intended) on this interesting look at how Floating Point FX and Just Cause are bringing high-resolution, short range 3D scan data to the entertainment industry.

KRATOS FACE is a complete face performance capture pipeline for 1:1 and non- 1:1 targets. The 3D scan data is analyzed in real-time and normalized to provide output that can be connected to an array of morph targets.
